• Hacked servers are usually the result of utilizing a word for root password, which can be found in the dictionary. We recommend that you use a combination of letters, lower case and capital, numbers, and symbols, in no specific order. If your site or server is hacked, contact our technical staff immediately, so that we can assist. Please remember, Adult Hosting is not responsible for the content of your server, or its security, please update all necessary patches, when they become available, and keep backups of your sites and content in the event all data is lost. You can also request for RAID servers and backup to avoid losing data. (charges apply for these services)

As a reseller, you will be billed according to the volume of servers you manage. Below are some guidelines:

 

• Additional servers may be purchased through your my.adulthosting.com customer area at the already discounted pricing levels.

 

• The first server purchased through Adult Hosting, must be done through your sales representative or the Adult Hosting website, and note your approved reseller status. The billing department will make the pricing adjustments prior to invoicing and billing for the server(s) ordered.

 

• All invoices are created on the first day of the month. Invoices are due on the date they are created, and are subject to suspension if not paid within 15 days of invoicing.

 

• Every reasonable attempt will be made to contact the Adult Hosting Reseller prior to suspension and termination. Resold servers that are suspended may not be re-enabled until the invoice balance has been paid in full.

 

• To cancel any services, you must submit the cancellation request through your sales representative or by e-mail to billing@adulthosting.com and should include the reasons for termination. All cancelations must be done before the end of the current month, the server will remain active until the billing cycle ends and invoice will not be pro-rated for the rest of the month

 

• Exception: If server is to be cancelled due to an upgrade, involving a transfer of data from the old server to be cancelled to the new server ordered, then Adult Hosting will pro-rate invoices to the time the new server is active.

 

• When reaching a new tier discount level, the reseller must contact Adult Hosting billing department directly to alert them to the next discount level. Adult Hosting will not automatically adjust pricing to the next discount level.

 

• Adult Hosting Resellers are liable for all invoices created, regardless if your client has paid you for the servers.

 

• Resold servers that are suspended for a period of 72 hours with no contact from the Adult Hosting Reseller, and should the end-user wish to pay the balance of the invoices for the server to be transferred, will be turned over to the end-user directly with no ownership of the server after such point being allowed to the Adult Hosting Reseller.
